Definitions

  • the present invention relates to nippers for cutting hard tiles or slabs, in particular for cutting and breaking off hard cladding material.
  • nippers that is, tools that can be operated with one hand, which provide two opposite cutting elements, pressed one towards the other by respective favourable levers, hinged together in a central fulcrum axis.
  • Classic nippers are constructed substantially in two pieces hinged together when the cutting elements constitute the two opposite shaped ends (typically wedge- or beak-shaped, with a more or less sharpened cutting edge) of the respective pieces.
  • the cutting element and the respective lever pieces are integrally formed, they are made of the same material, therefore it is not possible to optimize the performance according to the particular features of each element: the cutting element should have high hardness, while the levers should have some resilience and flexural strength.
  • the traditional configuration involves certain operating limits.
  • the cutting elements typically have two opposing and rectilinear cutting edges, arranged orthogonally to the main hinge axis of the nippers: this is effective for balancing the nippers, but hinders performance of curved cutting, because the space between the cutting edges and the hinge axis is very small and the nippers hit the edge of the tile as soon as it is placed angled.
  • the cutting element consists of a separate element, constrained to the ends of the levers by means of suitable fastening means.
  • the cutting element can be designed specifically for its purpose, for example in the form of wheels of very hard material (widia).
  • the wheels also have the advantage that can be rotated as the cutting edge wears out.
  • nippers with this configuration are illustrated for example in figs. 3-5 of WO91/17964 .
  • the Applicant has further developed this concept by placing the cutting wheels on a slightly inclined plane, for example inclined by 20°, with respect to the lying plane of the respective lever pieces, as shown for example in the EU registered design no. 181110-0005.
  • This configuration is more effective and ergonomic when it is necessary to make cuttings with a component orthogonal to the edge of the tile, for example a rectangular or semi-circular window along the edge of the tile.
  • This constructive limit means that the manoeuvrability of the nippers in the execution of shaped cuttings is not entirely satisfactory.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a manual cutting tool, such as nippers, which constitutes an enhancement with respect to the prior art, especially in terms of manoeuvrability and accessibility of the tool in the performance of shaped cuttings.
  • engraving/cutting nippers for tiles or slabs made of hard material comprising a pair of mutually hinged lever pieces, provided on two opposite sides of an hinge axis respectively with a handle portion and an end head carrying cutting elements in the form of cutting wheels with a perimeter cutting edge, said cutting wheels being fixed parallel to a fastening land which is perpendicular to a lying plane of said pair of lever pieces, wherein said end heads are L-shaped, so as to define said fastening lands arranged offset with respect to said lying plane, and said end heads have opposing projections which extend according to a direction joining centres of said cutting wheels, up to a mutual distance shortly greater than the distance between said cutting edges of the cutting wheels.
  • the end heads also have raised protective ribs which follow and partly surround said cutting edges of the cutting wheels.
  • one of said end heads has a pressure surface for exerting manual pressure, while the other end head carries a freely rotatable cutting wheel.
  • said freely rotatable cutting wheel is mounted on a surface of a respective land by means of a through screw engaged with a counter-nut arranged on the opposite side of said land surface.
  • the lever pieces have closing end travel retainers, which determine a closed configuration wherein the cutting edges of said wheels are spaced apart by at least 1.5 mm.
  • Said retainers can be in the shape of rubber pads mounted opposite each other on said handle portions.
  • Nippers for tiles or slabs of hard material, such as stone material are composed in a manner known per se, of two lever bodies 1a and 1b reciprocally hinged on a fulcrum or hinge axis 2.
  • the two lever bodies 1a and 1b have a generic S-shape and have, on one side and the other of the hinge axis 2, a longer portion 1a' and 1b', which acts as a grip end, and a shorter portion 1a'' and 1b'', which acts as a pressure head.
  • This configuration is that which allows to obtain an advantageous lever effect, by acting manually on the longer grip portions 1a' and 1b'.
  • a spring 3 or other similar elastic element is provided, which urges the two portions to spread apart, thus keeping the nippers in open configuration, with the two pressure heads, or end heads, more distant from each other.
  • each head portion 1a'' and 1b'' of the two levers has an inverted L-shaped configuration (see fig. 2 ), so as to define a fastening plane or land P perpendicular to the lying plane of lever bodies 1a and 1b and laterally offset.
  • the end heads 1a" and 1b" define a fastening land having a central axis R which is offset compared to the lying plane of the lever bodies.
  • said central axis R is perpendicular to the land surface and passing through the center of gravity of said land surface.
  • the circular symmetry axis of the cutting wheels 4a and 4b is substantially placed on the central axis R of the lands.
  • the wheels 4a and 4b are held in position by a fastening element, such as a screw 4a' and 4b', which is inserted on the central axis R of the land and thus acts as a fastening axis.
  • a fastening element such as a screw 4a' and 4b'
  • the two head ends 1a'' and 1b'' have respective opposed projections 5a and 5b, which extend beneath the wheels 4a and 4b so as to constitute a lateral support element close their cutting edge.
  • the projections 5a and 5b essentially constitute extensions of a base portion of the supporting lands of the wheels 4a and 4b, which protrude from the profile of the end heads as a short, low-thickness shelf with substantially straight and partially bevelled opposing edges (as can be seen in figs. 6A-8 ).
  • each projection 5a, 5b extend up to a mutual distance briefly greater than the mutual distance between the cutting edges of the wheels 4a and 4b: in this way, they do not interfere with the cutting action (it is to be considered that the cutting edge of the wheels must be able to penetrate the slab material in a more or less pronounced measure depending on its compactness), but are available to prevent an application of bending force to the wheels, as will be explained further below.
  • each projection extends up to about 1-2 mm from the cutting edge of the respective wheel.
  • These projections have the dual function of better supporting the wheels 4a and 4b, as well as taking contact with the surface of the slab to be cut - when inclining the longitudinal axis of the tool with respect to the plane of the slab to be cut - avoiding a flexural load on the wheels.
  • the end heads 1a'' and 1b'' also have raised protective ribs 6a and 6b, which follow and surround a part of the circular profile of the wheels 5a and 5b, extending for a height at least equal to the height of the cutting edge with respect to the fastening land.
  • These ribs 6a and 6b have the function of protecting the cutting edge of the wheels 5a and 5b from accidental impacts: for this purpose, they are provided on the rear side of the tool, that is on the side opposite to the offset direction of the central axis R, i.e. the farthest side from the axis R.
  • One of the two end heads 1a'' also has an enlargement which defines a pressure surface 7, arranged at least in correspondence with an axis passing through the centres of the two wheels 4a and 4b.
  • the pressure surface 7 preferably has knurls to give it an anti-slip effect.
  • the thumb of a user's hand is intended to exert pressure on the pressure surface 7, in case the use of a wheel 4b of the tool to perform a sliding cut is desired. The pressure of the thumb is thus directed along the axis passing through the centres of the two wheels and is going to load the furthest wheel that can engrave the surface with which it is in contact.
  • the wheel 4b mounted on the end head 1b' opposite to that on which the pressure surface 7 is formed is freely rotatably mounted on the respective axis R.
  • the supporting lands are cantilevered with respect to the lever pieces of the nippers, it is possible to provide a counter nut 8 which engages with a screw 4b', on a portion that protrudes below the land, so as to leave a loose lock of the wheel against its support land.
  • the free rotation of the wheel 4b makes the pressure engraving action more effective.
  • the raised protective rib 6a ends with a sharp corner 6a' at the intersection with the axis passing through the centres of the two wheels 4a and 4b. Since the cutting point of the wheels also falls on this axis, the sharp corner 6a' can advantageously be used by the user to have a line of sight on the cutting point on the slab, which otherwise remains covered by the same tool.
  • the tool according to the invention can provide a tilting locking means L, hinged on one of the two lever pieces 1b and with an operative end suitable for engaging/disengaging the other lever piece 1a, to determine or not a mutual locking (in closed position, as shown in Fig. 1 ) between the two lever pieces.
  • the tool according to the invention can be used in two different modes.
  • a first method is similar to traditional nippers. With the lever pieces 1a and 1b spread apart in an open position, the slab to be cut down is brought between the two opposing cutting edges of the two wheels 4a and 4b, and then a cutting pressure is exerted by manually acting on the two lever pieces 1a and 1b. The pressure is amplified by the lever effect and by the thin cutting edge of the wheels 4a and 4b, so as to cut and fracture the slab.
  • the device is configured in such a way that - even in its fully closed configuration - the two wheels 4a and 4b never come into contact with each other, but between them there is a gap of, for example, 1-1.5 mm: at the time of the fracture of the slab the two wheels are not subjected to abut each other which could break them.
  • the closing end of travel of the two lever pieces 1a and 1b is determined by two opposed pads 9a and 9b of sufficiently soft material, such as hard rubber, to cushion the impact when fracture of the slab to be cut down is determined.
  • the two opposed pads 9a and 9b are mounted on the respective lever portions of the nippers, near the spring 3.
  • the lateral offset arrangement of the two wheels 4a and 4b, with the fastening axis R - which resides on the cutting plane - offset with respect to the lying plane of the lever pieces 1a and 1b, facilitates user intervention when it is necessary to make a shaped cut, in particular along lines which have a component perpendicular to the edge of the slab to be cut.
  • the asymmetry of the cutting plane with respect to the plane of the lever pieces 1a and 1b makes it easier to rotate the tool with respect to the slab and to perform the cut inside the surface, proceeding from the perimeter edge.
  • a second method is similar to that of a traditional engraving tool. Keeping the tool in the closed position, the user can place the free wheel 4b on the plane of the slab to be cut down and, by pressing on the pressure surface 7, makes the wheel 4b roll on the surface, producing a superficial engrave.
  • the specific configuration of the end heads equipped with cantilevered wheels allows the user to easily perform shaped cuts as well, when using the tool as nippers.
  • the presence of the projections on the wheels' fastening lands protects the fragile cutting wheels from flexural stresses.
  • the pressure surface opposed to a rotary-mounted wheel offers the possibility of using the tool also as a surface engraving tool.
